SOUVENIRS

Asouvenir(fromFrench, fora remembrance or memory),[1]memento,keepsake, ortoken of remembrance[1]is an object a person acquires for the memoriesthe owner associates with it.

A souvenir can be any object that can be collected or purchased and transported home by the traveler as a memento of a visit.

While there is no set minimum or maximum cost that one is required to adhere to when purchasing a souvenir, etiquette would suggest to keep it within a monetary amount that the receiver would not feel uncomfortable with when presented the souvenir.

The object itself may have intrinsic value, or simply be a symbol of past experience. Without the owner's input, the symbolic meaning is invisible and cannot be articulated.[2]
